Comair suspends Kulula, British Airways flights in South Africa
Updated | By Algoa FM
Comair has suspended all scheduled Kulula and British Airways flights in South Africa for the next three weeks.
The decision follows President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement of a move to a level 4 of the lockdown and the prohibition on all non-essential travel in and out of Gauteng.
In a statement, Comair says flights will be suspended from Monday 5 July and that it aims to recommence services from the 30th of July subject to regulations being eased and Covid-19 infection rates, particularly in Gauteng, being contained.
Kulula customers with a valid ticket, booked for travel from 28 June 2021 to 29 July 2021, will be able to utilise their ticket within 12 months from the first date of travel without any penalty.
No change of booking fee or fare difference will be charged.
Comair CEO Glenn Orsmond has apologised to customers affected by the suspension, but says the company believe it is the right course of action to take under the circumstances.
